If they let NiN slip through their fingers they are god damn idiots. If they want to sign Muse fine, but do a double headliner night like The Strokes and Kanye.

It doesn't seem that there is a big enough Electro act to close the mainstage this year, and both an Outkast reunion and Arcade Fire performance that could feature James Murphy or Bowie would never have a dj follow them. Any thoughts on a main stage electro act at the end of the night? Any chance we could see the Chemical Brothers back???

Hey 6:27 dumb motherfucker. If you use some of your ten brain cells to think instead of using it to direct your finger to your rectum you would realize that the closer we got the the lineup release Monk will update the list with more names. There were 26 names in the last post and 40 on this one. Dumbfuck...

It is still the worst line-up they have ever put together. It just seems there is nothing out of the ordinary anymore for Coachella. Muse? Outcast? Pixies? Who the fuck cares! How about something to shake it up, that will be a complete surprise, not that they have too any longer, since the Coachella name has now become a brand. Here are some that would get me to go for the 8th time:The SmithsThe Cocteau TwinsLoopBowieLed ZepplinBut good luck with the mess I see on these posts.

hey 4:28, are you trolling or just that retarded? OutKAST hasnt done a live show since like 2001 and are still amazing act to see. Pixies are classic, and i agree about Muse. But you are asking for the rarest of rare appearances. How do you not think Outkast is good headliner? you too old? or too young?

2manydjs would be great, but still holding out hope we get Soulwax also or Underworld. I've been waiting patiently to see Underworld since Hard Summer got broken up in '09, and seeing them finally at Coachella would be insane.

I like as we all get older this exercise just get more disappointing. Remember when there was real surprise? The Internet has killed a lot of the fun. You youngsters don't know what it's like to be clueless - it's fun and shocking and surprising. Ahh fuck, I'm going back to bed.

I agree. last year's only surprises were billing order and a shitty booking in RHCP. Most people [that pay attention] knew blur and the stone roses were playing. Now we have all three headliners figured out and it's not even christmas. the Outkast surprise was flubbed.

enough about all these new actslets talk about the classic spot that is either on the outdoor stage or sometimes on Saturday's mainstage... like in year's past they have done Willie Nelson, Leonard Cohen and Sly & The Family Stone... who else is there that could fill this that has yet to do it?

I have always thought it would be incredible to see George Clinton do a tent show with Parliament members... or Chuck Berry could be REAL cool, I would actually love that... what about Tom Waits?? Elvis Costello? Michael Stipe doing some solo shit? Tony Bennett!

Darkside end that tour on 4/8 so no reason they can't be at Coach a few days later. They're also playing a Fonda show in January which I thought was always a good hint a band will be on the polo fields?

Nin and QOTSA are going to play the same night. Look at their tour dates. All of April is open after the first week. Coachella only brings back great headliners. Muse doesn't fit that bill. RHCP got the nod last year because they are almost a classic act at this point.

^^There are only a few women groups worthy of headlining a festival of that size. Madonnna could have 20 years ago. Beyonce could, but she is not the demographic of festival goers. So that leaves???? Oh that's right, no one.

@722 Which female acts specifically do you think are big enough to headline and also fit the festival crowd demographic? Also it would help if they aren't horrible like No Doubt.

In fact, which festivals specifically are headlining all this female talent? To call Coachella sexist would imply that there are plenty of these acts out there and they purposely choose not to headline them.

Wrong. No one I go with which is a a group of over 30 people have any interest in seeing ms Carter. Men out attend females at festivals by far. So of course they are going to create lineups that men are going to like.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Daft Punk performing at the Grammys is announced on the same day that Moogfest has announced Giorgio Moroder and CHIC w/Nile Rogers...which takes place one little week after Coachella!

Daft Punk will be announced for Coachella the week of the Grammys which will not coincidentally feature a Coachella television commercial either just before or just after the performance (maybe both, not sure yet). Thus, the Daft Punk commercial at Coachella 2013 will come full circle.

When this board is discussing Beyonce as a headliner at Coachella in a serious manner, then you know the festival has died. I went from 2005-2013 8x, but it just gets worse and worse. Outcast? Beyonce? Muse (again)? Kins of Leon (Again)? Arcade Assholes (Again) What the fuck has happened to Coachella?

@7:32 AM - Headliners have always been a mixed bag at Coachella...are you really arguing that Outkast, probably one of the 10 greatest rap acts of all time, is lesser than Coldplay, Jack Johnson (who headlined my favorite year of the festivals entire run), The Killers, or Oasis (A top five candidate for most overrated rock act of all time). And I'm not sold that either AF or Muse, if on the line-up, are #1 on the bill for their day.

Sexist??? Who in the hell COULD headline that is a girl these days? LAdy Gaga is WAYYYYY too Lollapalooza and no one would like that choice. Bring back the fucking Killers before u do that. Or the Kings Of Leon haaaaa.... Beyonce? The field would be empty (everyone would be at Sahara and Mojave). Madonna already did the fest and they didn't even mainstage headline her. Other than Bjork, who do u really think could headline Coachella that is a girl???? MAYBE Adele... but that is about it....

the headliners involved have pretty much been speculated upon everywhere including this blog.

Upon hearing about the head/subheadliners GV definately took all the flack they received about the Stone Roses/Blur debacle and upgraded in a sense.

the headliners and subheadliners are as follow:

Friday, April 11th/18thMUSE•NINE INCH NAILS < Beck< Foster the People

Saturday, April 12th/19thARCADE FIRE < Florence + the Machine< Pixies

Sunday, April 13th/20thOUTKAST< Queens of the Stoneage< M.I.A.

I was not granted knowledge to the remainder of the lineup, but I imagine that most of the speculated names are a given or highly likely. My source did however mention that there would be 2 reunions not already touring that would take part at the fest but wouldn't make that big of a splash as prior reunions taken place at Coachella. He did mention though, that GV did lock in an electrinic act that has been requested for for years and would finally be gracing the Polo Fields next year. Once again, Daft Punk will not be there.

^^^I swear on my life I dont know how this shit gets out. Kudos. Not sure where the leak is these days. Was really hoping that people would be pleasantly surprised by what they finally pulled off. Bowie. But his name will not be on the poster and neither will Arcade's for that matter. I saw numerous posts hinting at this, but it's true. It will no say David Bowie and the Reflektors either. It will simply say The Reflektors. That is it. It will be similar to Dre and Snoop doing their show with tons of guests. It will be the closest a headliner at Chell has ever ran their set like a Bonnaroo set. People showing up and jumping in on Arcade songs and people doing their own songs. And with Bowie, James Murphy, Tyler Pope and others onstage there will be plenty of catalogues to choose from. Also people from the fest will be jumping in... Westerberg, Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers... to name a few...

its gonna make headlines and Coachella will never top it. Mark my words.
